It just happened to me again, but to be fair, I haven't tried to connect to that system in a couple of weeks, so the changes to the DEN may have caused it. That said I just want to report that the remote system was showing as connected to the DEN, with the old non-functional ID, so I was a bit confused as to why I was unable to connect. I quit Wayk on the remote, and restarted it, and the new functional ID appeared. If it matters the remote system was the same MAC Pro that I have been having connection issues with in the reverse direction as reported in another thread, so the issue may also be related to the quirks on that Yosemite based Mac Pro system.

Just thought I would post these findings in case it helps in any way.

No problem.

Thanks Richard. I am running 2.1.2, so yeas this still happens.

my questions as to lease times and static ID's were mostly as a query to if this behavior is normal. If it is something you are aware of as an issue, I'm sure you will get it fixed up, but if there is anything I can do to help in testing, please let me know.

I have had a few instances where WaykNow gets a new ID from the den after a crash or restart of WaykNow or the computer. This means that if I am trying to connect via the den, but the remote system has picked up a new ID, I have no way to connect, without being able to find out the new ID. Even the bookmarks are no longer valid, since they reference the older ID.

To date this has happened once on my Win7 system at home, and a couple of times on my Mac Pro at work.

Is this normal? Is there a lease time on the ID's? Will the self hosted den allow static ID's to be set when it is released?

Thanks Richard, the buttons in the alert messages are indeed now visible.

Sure thing. Here is the crash report.

So I came into work and decided to reverse the connection, from my Mac to my home Win7 system, and WaykNow crashes on the Mac after a shot period. Previously it would happen as soon as the connection was made. but this time I can see my home system desktop, but the crash happens after 5 to 10 seconds and a few mouse clicks. I am attaching the current trace log from the Mac.

I just wanted to report that I have used WaykNow to do a little remote session from my Win7 system to my Mac at work, so that I could web gui and terminal into a linux server over the office LAN. I am amazed at how much more responsive WaykNow is compared to Teamviewer, LiteManager, DWService, and VNC. All of my WaykNow tests prior to you fixing the little mac bug I identified, were between systems on my own network at home. This was the first one over the internet.

Great work and hats off to all the developers from a fellow Canadian, for the great product and great support. If this is any indication on what we can expect as development progresses, I thing we are in store for wonderful things.

Thanks. Initial tests look like it is functioning correctly. I will give it a whirl and let you know if I discover anything else. I have also now installed it on another couple of macs belonged to a co-worker to get him to test it as well. Hopefully it all goes ok.

Here is the TRACE level log from the Mac system.

No problem. Glad I could help. I am an electronics tech and computer tech by trade with a slight background in programming and spent many years as an electronics bench technician and building/servicing computers. I understand that strange problems can happen. I'm just glad if I could help you identify and fix them, especially if it helps wayk now become a serious player in the RDP market. So far, the product seems to perform great. I can't want for the self hosted den to arrive.

We have CentOS 6.4 and 7.1, but the 6.4 version will probably be updated in the next few months. Our Suse version is an enterprise 11.x, but once again will probably be changed in the next few months to a CentOS 7.x, as the software that that system runs has changed to building on CentOS instead of Suse, and CentOS also works better with our media SAN.

I already tried to rebuild the .deb package into an .rpm, as a test, but encountered a dependency problem in the libappindicator1 if I recall correctly.

In lieu of native builds, have you tried running the Windows client in wine? I haven't tried this myself yet. I believe this is how Teamviewer works and is also how LiteManager works.

I was just querying, as a native application is always more desirable than one runnning in an emulator or compatability layer like wine.

No, I have not seen the same behaviour with other apps on my phone. All other apps show the "alert" with their buttons properly.

Is there any plan to build Wayk Now for other Linux variants?

That said, we have 3 main Linux variants at work, Debian, which you do build for, and Suse and CentOS, which you don't build for.

I am currently testing Wayk Now as a personal alternative to Teamviewer. I work in film and video post production as a Post Production Technician/IT Manager, and I have several friends and family members that I help out with their computer problems, but Teamviewer keeps flagging me as a commercial user at home due to the number of people I help. If my personal testing and evaluation goes ok, I may recommend Wayk Now at the office so we can remote in from home to start procedures without having to come in for the sake of 5 minutes on a weekend.

I just noticed that it was the debug level I had enabled, and you asked for trace. Do you need me to re do this test with the trace level enabled.

Here are the debug logs from my Mac at work and my Win7 system at home.

The Win7 system always connects to the den, and does not crash when trying to make a connection, so there is no crash log for that.

On the Mac, I tried to connect to the win 7 system while showing no den connection (no green light and connection to den disables message showing), and was prompted for my password at home, but immediately upon connection, the mac client crashed, and the same results happened after I toggled the the den enable setting and got the green connection light, so the mac log will probably show 2 failed connection attempts.

I am also attaching both of the mac crash logs, just in case having the debug log enabled causes some additional information to be logged in there.

I am using 2.1.1

Attached is the most recent crash log. If you need anything else like a debug log ot the like, let me know.

I originally responded to this via my personal email, but I noticed it didn't show up on the forum, so I am adding it back as follows for those who may be following it.

-------------------------

I tried the uninstall and re-install with no success correcting the problem.

Here is an example screenshot. I currently don't have the client running, but this shows what the dialogues look like. There is no text in the area under the message that you would touch to make a choice. In this case there is only one possible button to press, but dialogues that have more than one option also have no text, which is what made me comment about having to guess what to press.

Iphone 6s, iOS 10.3.3. Wayk Now app is missing text on most of the OK and Cancel buttons. Have to guess at which one to push.

I am evaluating Wayk Now as a possible replacement for Teamviewer

When I run the app, it does not connect to the den. I have to go to connectivity in preferences and disable the den, apply the change, then go back and re-enable the den and apply for the connection to happen. When I try to connect to my home PC, the connection happens, but as soon as I enter my password, Wayk Now crashes on the Mac, but continues to run on my home PC. I can connect to my home PC from my phone, so the problem appears to indeed be on the Mac at work.

My Mac at work does have 2 network connections. one to our general LAN and internet and one to our dedicated media SAN (no internet).

Could the double network possibly be causing the problem?
